Though knowing our minds need to look to You,
We so often find ourselves looking elsewhere.
Not offering any excuses....I'm as much to blame as others,
We do, however, know exactly what to do.
Your Son shed his precious blood so we could live eternal,
Our redemption bought with His life;
Supreme love he has....agapo love,
To make this propitiatory sacrifice.
We seem to turn away again and again,
Yet He continues to preserve us as sons;
We need to change, be sanctified,
By his death, our souls he's won.
In past days it's become quite evident,
Though it really should have been so all along;
The hideous death during the past invasion of our land,
Truly serves to validate this song.
We continue to look to You,
For guidance in our uncertain way;
Though we often don't understand a lot of things,
Our human thoughts are not your divine Way.
In faith we proclaim you as the One,
Who promised to be with us even unto the end;
Though we still reflect on what lies before us,
We know your surpassing love will overcome.
........Amen
